Ferryhill
Ferryhill is a town in south-central County Durham, England. With a permanent population of around 9940, as recorded in the 2011 census, it is the 8th largest town in the county. Ferryhill is situated on the western side of the Ferryhill Gap, a natural gateway in the Limestone Escarpment that outcrops on the Eastern Durham Plateau. The primary settlement is found along the southwest-northeast ridge, with later development to the south of the ridge. The town grew rather quickly in the 1900s as a result of the flourishing coal mining industry at the time of the Industrial Revolution. The last mine closed in 1968 after the decrease of the staple industries in the post-war period. Ferryhill holds a weekly Friday market in the Town Centre marketplace run by the Local Council Ferryhill Town Council. There have been various development programmes in the town, such as the acclaimed Mainsforth Sports complex, Surtees Doorstep Green, and a youth coffee shop for the town's young people. There are plenty of opportunities for residents to take part in social, cultural and community events. This includes an annual summer gala, a Christmas market, the parading of miners' banners, a classic cars and truck rally, art and photography shows and a lot more. These are all planned jointly by the Town Council and the 2000 Committee. A section of Dean Bank Park has been used to improve and increase the sporting facilities accessible in the town, and the remainder have recently been the subject of consultation by the Town Council, with plans for a play area being made.
